Capt. Adam Van Gerpen, public information officer for the Los Angeles City Fire Department, told reporters that out of the 30 injured, 23 were transported to medical facilities. Van Gerpen also confirmed that one person with a gunshot wound was taken for treatment. It is unclear if this was the driver. The LAFD said seven patients were in critical condition, six were in serious condition, and 19 were in fair condition. Additionally, seven patients refused transport. At approximately 2:00 a.m. local time, LAFD personnel were dispatched to what Van Gerpen called a “large, chaotic scene.” A “large group of people” were standing outside of a club when a vehicle rammed into them. According to reports, a line of people, the majority of whom were women, were waiting to enter the nightclub when they were struck by a vehicle. The drive apparently also hit a taco truck and a valet stand, according to the Associated Press.

This is obviously absolutely horrible, but what about a different situation? What about if violent protestors standing in the street start to surround YOU? What should happen then? Gov. Ron DeSantis Says It’s 100% Legal In Florida To PLOW PROTESTORS Illegally On The Street! Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is not playing any games when it comes to anti-ICE rioters attempting to take over U.S. streets. In a recent podcast interview with Dave Rubin, DeSantis shared that if rioters surround your car and they are making threats at you, then you have a right to drive away.  Drive through the crowd if necessary. DeSantis added, if you end up hitting a rioter while fleeing, then they had it coming. 100% common sense!  YES!! I have a 100% foolproof way to NEVER get hit by a car on the highway, you want to hear it?  Almost nothing is a sure bet in life, but this one is.  Works every time, no exceptions.... If you don't want to get hit by a car while "protesting" do not "protest" on a highway, interstate or any kind of street of any kind! You're welcome, problem solved! I haven't always agreed with Ron DeSantis on everything, but he nailed it here. If the mob is coming at you and circling your car, you do NOT have to just sit there and wait to get assaulted or killed. START PLOWING AND GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE! Legally, of course. You don't go looking for someone to ram into, don't get it twisted, but if your life is being put in danger by "protestors" illegally on the street and they start to surround your car, that's called self-defense if you ask me! Per Yahoo News: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) assured drivers in his state they will not be held liable if they hit protesters blocking roadways when they are fearful for their lives. “If you’re driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety, and so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that’s their fault for impinging on you,” DeSantis told podcaster Dave Rubin in an episode of “The Rubin Report” released Wednesday night. “You don’t have to sit there and just be a sitting duck and let the mob grab you out of your car and drag you through the streets.” “You have a right to defend yourself in Florida,” he added. The Florida Republican spent much of the discussion with Rubin focused on protests that have rocked Los Angeles and other major cities in response to President Trump’s immigration crackdown. Some demonstrators in New York City, Chicago and elsewhere have created traffic jams as part of their anti-Immigrations and Customs Enforcement efforts. DeSantis, who is term-limited and unsuccessfully sought the GOP’s presidential nomination against Trump in 2024, touted past work from law enforcement in Florida to quickly disperse crowds that have attempted to block roadways. “You have no right to commandeer streets,” DeSantis said. “First of all, it’s just wrong; second of all, that has huge impacts on people’s quality of life.” “We have an absolutely zero tolerance policy for that,” he added. DeSantis DROPS BOMB on Rioters! "If a mob surrounds your car & threatens you, FLOOR IT! You have the RIGHT to flee. If they get hit, it’s THEIR fault!" pic.twitter.com/opcWnY6xt2 — Jesus G. Navarro (@realjgnavarro) June 12, 2025 Now, just a precaution, DeSantis is stating this should only be done in self-defense. In Los Angeles, an anti-ICE rioter was seen running in front of an ICE vehicle while it was driving. Take a look: In case you were curious. ICE running over this idiot protestor is what triggered tonight’s chaos. Maybe you shouldn’t get in front of a moving SUV next time. pic.twitter.com/NS5wpdc66y — QE Infinity (@StealthQE4) June 8, 2025 Per LA Taco: An unidentified protester who put his body on the line to prevent a white SUV full of more than a dozen detainees from being driven away was knocked down by the driver of the truck as he attempted to stop it. The event happened at around 2 PM and was broadcast on both KTLA and ABC as federal agents detained more than a dozen workers at Ambiance Apparel. This massive apparel company boasts being one of the largest West Coast suppliers of fashion resources to retailers worldwide, with a branch in China as well. Instagram users are already flooding the company’s Instagram with comments denouncing the raid. The mass raid was just one of many reported to take place today in Los Angeles. Earlier today, a northeast Los Angeles-based Instagram account posted a video showing more than a dozen armed agents walking up the sidewalk at The Home Depot, located at 2055 N. Figueroa St. More than a dozen migrants were reportedly detained there. ABC News confirmed this second raid earlier in the day. The raid was documented by helicopters, much like broadcast news covers live pursuits. That's what I think and that's what Ron DeSantis thinks, but what do YOU think? YES or NO ?
